 Square Spiral ©Sarah Petite 2010 encaustic on wood 26" x 26" $2100 Cdn We call ourselves by many names: Homo sapiens, man the wise;
Homo habilis, man the able, the toolmaker; and, perhaps the most appropriate, Homo ludens, man the playful. Each aspect makes its contributions to science. There is no one way, for our exploration depends on all three: wisdom to choose the ill-lit path; techniques to find the answers; but always, always beneath the surface, playfulness. Stuart Kauffman, At Home in the Universe, 1995 |
